The Railway Boycott.

CHICAGO, ILL, April S.-The Michigan
Central Railroad will tomorrow issue q
circular boycotting the twenty-five roads
upon which the trunk lines have placed
their bar, and all through tickets
over the western lines will be
taken of sale. The Chicago roads
excepted from the boycottEare the North
western, the Illinois Central and the Mil
waukee and st. Paul. All roads leading
to Kansas City are barred so that q
traveller from the east cannot buy a
through ticket to that point. AS the
Lake Shore joined the boycott to-day
the Baltimore and Ohio and the Grand
Trunk are now the only seaboard lines
which are are not turning western tickets
to the wall. Neither side shows any signs
of yielding and the boycott will probably
continue until the matter is brought be-
fore the Interstate commission.
